Note: I am not requesting for a link nor a source, but rather I am just curious if this actually does exist, because then I will know that continuing to search for it won't be in vain, and that I am not just being foolishly optimistic.

Thank you.

I see it on filecr, looked into the zip and the content seems legit at a glance, but I can not try it out for you, might be a virus or trojan, run it in a VM first.

Or upload it to VirusTotal.

Thank you for the fast response and for looking into the zip file. How would I know if it has a virus or trojan if I ran it in a VM? I read somewhere that it can hide itself/deactivate certain parts of itself if it detects it is in a VM

There is no such thing as perfect security. There's always the possibility that something malicious is there. The real point it to take every caution that is reasonable and mitigate any possible damages.

If you're truly paranoid, you could choose to only ever run it in a VM that doesn't have any personal information and make backups of anything you don't want to loose.

Yeah that is true, thank you for the advice.

I'd extract it in a VM that has some good antivirus software running and see if the tool behaves badly. And manually check with a scan. If nothing shows up, then you are probably safe.
